Toxic Box Office Collection Day 1: Yash’s Film Eyes ₹85-90 Crore India Net, ₹100-130 Crore Worldwide
Yash’s much-awaited action thriller Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has opened to a strong response at the Indian box office. The film, which arrived in theatres worldwide on August 26, 2026, recorded an early India net collection of ₹23.54 crore by the morning and early afternoon shows. Since the first-day numbers are still being updated, the final collection is expected to rise significantly by the end of the day.
According to the early figures, Toxic had already generated an estimated ₹27.78 crore gross in India during the initial phase of its theatrical run. With several shows still remaining, the film has a substantial opportunity to post a much bigger final Day 1 number.
Strong Advance Booking Boosts Opening
One of the biggest factors behind Toxic’s strong opening is its impressive advance booking performance. The film reportedly crossed ₹58 crore in advance sales without including blocked seats, while the figure is even higher when blocked seats are taken into account.
The strong pre-sales demonstrate the enormous anticipation surrounding Yash’s return to cinemas after KGF: Chapter 2. With fans turning up for early shows and additional screenings being added in several markets, the film has established a strong foundation for its first-day business.
Toxic Day 1 Collection: ₹85-90 Crore Target
Trade estimates suggest that Toxic could witness a significant jump as the day progresses. Based on the early occupancy, advance sales and audience interest, the film is projected to finish its opening day with an India net collection of approximately ₹85-90 crore.
If the evening and night shows maintain strong occupancy, the final number could move closer to the upper end of the projection. The performance of major centres, particularly Karnataka and other southern markets, will play an important role in determining the final Day 1 total.
Worldwide Opening Could Reach ₹100-130 Crore
The international market is also expected to contribute significantly to Toxic’s opening. With the movie released across multiple languages and markets, trade observers are targeting a worldwide gross of around ₹100-130 crore on Day 1.
The film’s international performance will be particularly important because its ambitious production scale requires sustained business beyond the opening day.
What Next for Toxic?
While the early numbers are encouraging, the real test begins after the initial fan-driven response. Strong word of mouth could help Toxic maintain momentum throughout the opening weekend and potentially emerge as one of the biggest Indian releases of 2026.
For now, Yash’s return has clearly created a major box-office wave. With ₹23.54 crore already recorded in early India net collections and the full-day figures still coming in, Toxic is on course for a potentially massive opening.
